assistance resources, but
also knowledge on what
health resources, educa
tional resources, school

munity.
The event featured a
free meal, childcare, an in
formational session, door

expo booths, which rep
resented the three schools
Success
and community services
and resources.
Assistant Superin
tendent Beverly Faircloth
commented on the event.
“A great deal of planning
went into the evening, and
the turnout and the feed
back we heard throughout
the night are proof that
this event was helpful and
enjoyable! We are already
working to make the event
even better for next year,
and all of our community
partners have asked that we
put them on the list to at
tend again.”
